Based on the 987.2 platform, the original Boxster Spyder debuted as Porsche’s most lightweight production car with a stiffened sport suspension, 19” wheels, a basic manual convertible top, and a 3.4-liter flat-six engine factory-rated at 320 HP. This 2011 example is finished in Guards Red over Black leather upholstery. It was further configured with a 7-speed PDK transmission, heated leather Sport Seats with painted seatbacks, an Additional Alcantara Interior Package, automatic climate control, Sound Package Plus, Sport Chrono Package, Sport Exhaust System, dynamic cornering bi-xenon headlights, an aluminum footrest, and more. This generously optioned 987.2 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Georgia with just over 5k miles showing on the odometer.
The Boxster Spyder is characterized by its double-hump aluminum rear clamshell that conceals a manually operated two-piece convertible soft top. Compared to a standard 987.2 Boxster, the Spyder also includes a lightweight aluminum hood and door panels, redesigned LED daytime running lights, exposed side intake grilles, and a larger fixed rear spoiler. This example is finished in traditional Guards Red and features optional dynamic cornering bi-xenon headlamps and self-dimming mirrors with a rain sensor. It rides on 19" Boxster Spyder wheels with colored Porsche crests and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 N2 tires from 2020 at the front and 2021 at the rear. Minor blemishes are noted on the paint protection film, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black interior features heated Leather Sport Seats with body-colored seatbacks, along with the Boxster Spyder Additional Alcantara Interior Package. Additional options include a three-spoke Sport Steering Wheel with paddle shifters, a Sport Chrono stopwatch dial, automatic climate control, the Sound Package Plus, a CDR-30 CD radio, a universal audio interface, a Bluetooth interface for a mobile phone, and an aluminum footrest.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine factory-rated at 320 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 10 HP over the Boxster S. The rear wheels are driven through a 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission. Options include the Sport Chrono Package and Sport Exhaust System. The seller highlights maintenance by Hennessy Porsche of North Atlanta, Georgia, and the CARFAX report shows a total of 6 service history entries.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, and a car cover.
The seller would like you to know: “This car was owned by a great friend and client that I met during my Porsche Corporate days. It was purchased and serviced at our local Porsche dealership. The car features paint protection film, and it’s ready to be enjoyed. Do not miss the opportunity to purchase a rare Spyder in Guards Red!”

Great spec. This color combo w/ the painted sport backs, SC and PSE make for an amazing easy to drive gt car when needed but still one of the best canyon carver's money can buy. Some of the best Porsches ever made.
Hennessy Porsche service records have been added to the gallery. It was maintained at Hennessy every year, but the widow does not know where her husband kept the other records. I checked with Hennessy and they do not keep records before 2016. Between these records and the CarFax records, this should be sufficient.

Hello P Car Market! The Spyder just had a fresh oil change this morning and an inspection. We have uploaded the report to the photo section.
Also, we took photos and a video underneath the Spyder. As you can see...VERY nice example.

@bertsboat Yessir that’s me. It was great to meet you.
@islaTurbine, Last weekend I attended the 10 year Porsche Experience in Atlanta. There was a very low mile .2 red Spyder there. Maybe that was you? Same as this but with LWB’s and PCCB’s?
Interesting that there’s another Guards Red located in ATL. Up till now mine was the only one I had seen in the area. And for as rare as 987.2 Spyders are, I know of at least 6 others (including mine) in the greater Atlanta area.
I bought mine a few years back with the initial idea to only keep it 3-5 years in order to “scratch the itch.” Here I am four years later contemplating how I could ever consider getting rid of a car that provides such immense driving enjoyment.
On paper these early Spyders don’t seem like much, but the sum of the parts equates to something quite special. IYKYK
Get one while you can. 1667 produced worldwide and less than 900 came to North America.
@Captbillturbo I would be interested in this car in manual. Please let me know if you ever think about letting it go, Captain.
@jdm It was a pleasure meeting you! Thank you for taking the time to visit our showroom and experience this beautiful Spyder.

Had the chance to look at and drive the car this morning. It is a time capsule, drives tide like it got out of the factory yesterday.

@tyroneattheraces These are the best kept secret in the car community. Truly one of the best driving Porsche of all time.
-The Car Concierge Team
@McDuff Absolutely. The red painted seat backs and interior accents in red also set it off nicely.

@Captbillturbo This is our favorite generation Spyder and it is definitely a rare one!

Holy Mother of God this is beautiful. Interesting articles about these in 000 magazine and Panorama recently. It would seem we are witnessing the 987 Spyder emerge as one of the all time great niche Porsches.
Such a cool car, and it looks amazing in Guards Red.
Bid in the amount of $60,000
Wow! I have the twin with manual. Only about 75 Red 987 Spyders sold in N America. Super rare. Last analog true sports car. This will go in collector barn with 5k miles.
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the auction of this impeccable Boxster Spyder, finished in Guards red which is not common for a 987.2 Spyder. Be sure to scroll through the gallery of photos to appreciate the incredible work of our in-house photographer and checkout the little details on this example. We will be adding videos to the auction as we progress.
This Spyder was purchased new at Hennessy Porsche and maintained at Hennessy Porsche throughout its life. Hennessy Porsche is only 3.0 miles from our dealership and it shows history in Hilton Head because the wife of the former owner moved there after his passing. She continued to enjoy the car, keeping his memory alive. Eventually, she reached out to the Car Concierge Team to find an enthusiast home for the car so that she can take care of a few personal matters.
This Spyder came from a true car family and shared garage space with the likes of a Ferrari Dino, Ferrary Daytona Spyder, De Tomaso Pantera, and various Porsche's.
The owner of our dealership worked for Porsche Cars North America and also sold Porsche cars. Please feel free to reach out with any technical questions or general questions about the Spyder. We truly enjoy this generation Spyder and it is our preferred generation, even over the latest Spyder RS. There is just something magical about these cars.
This vehicle is available for in-person viewing by appointment only at our dealership in Alpharetta, GA.
To schedule a visit or ask any questions, please use the “Contact Seller” button above. We’re happy to provide shipping quotes and financing options upon request.
We’ve taken great care to present a transparent overview of the Spyder's current condition. It is fully serviced and ready to go.
Additional highlights include:
* Paint Protection Film
* Original laminated window sticker
* Ferrari car cover that fits the car (indoor)
All photos were taken just three days before this auction, so you can bid with confidence.
Feel free to comment, share, or reach out with any questions.
Best of luck to all bidders,
– The Car Concierge Team
